Bram Stoker’s most known and most analyzed novel Dracula, written in 1897, has truly revolutionized the image of the vampire: from a monstrous blood-sucking demon to the charming and tantalizing nobleman – Count Dracula. The novel was not just written to change the image of the vampire but to use it as a symbol of the fears and anxieties of the Victorian era: the fear of the New Woman, overt sexuality and homosexuality as well as the anxiety of colonization of the British ideal of homogeneity. The aim of the paper is to reflect on the afore-mentioned Victorian fears and anxieties through the analysis of the concepts of the New Woman, vampirism, and the figure of Count Dracula as the ever-threating Other. The New Woman was a relatively new concept at the time, attempting to change the Victorian gender roles and give women more independence. The characters such as Mina Harker, Lucy Westenra, and the three vampire women each represent a different aspect of the New Woman. The Victorian fear of the taboo topics of sexuality and its representation is presented through vampirism as the cause of the characters’, both male and female, sexual awakening. Finally, the issue of British collapse and reverse colonialization is depicted through the character of Count Dracula as the representation of the Other, wishing to destroy British society and colonialize it.
